| Browns QB Derek Anderson had his first 300-yard passing game of the season. |
It was over when ...
Browns CB Eric Wright picked off an Eli Manning pass and outraced the QB down the sidelines for a 94-yard touchdown return in the fourth quarter. Instead of the Giants potentially moving within six points of the Browns, they fell behind by 21 after the two-point conversion and did not have enough time to recover.
Game ball
Plagued by a slow start to the season, Braylon Edwards busted out in a big way Monday night. He set the tone early with a 70-yard catch in the second quarter that set up the Browns' first touchdown and he applied the finishing touches with an 11-yard score in the fourth quarter.
Key stat
The Browns had been averaging a league-worst 211 yards of offense per game, but they gashed what had been the NFC's best defense for 454 yards. That production allowed Cleveland to overcome nine offensive penalties.
Noteworthy
Kellen Winslow missed the game with an undisclosed illness. ... Manning's three interceptions were his most since Week 12 of last season. ... In his first game since coming back from a one-game suspension, Plaxico Burress had 58 receiving yards and a touchdown. ... The loss snapped New York's 11-game road winning streak.
